Eseza 6
1 Ekiro ekyo Kabaka teyayinza kwebaka; era n’alagira ekitabo eky’ebijjukizo eky’ebigambo ebya buli lunaku, bisomebwe mu maaso ge.
On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.
2 Awo ne kisangibwa mu byafaayo nti Moluddekaayi yamanya olukwe lwa Bigusani ne Teresi babiri ku balaawe ba Kabaka abaali bakuuma omulyango nga baali bagezaako okutta Kabaka Akaswero, era nga Moluddekaayi ye yabaloopayo.
It was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were doorkeepers, who had tried to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.
3 Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Kitiibwa ki na bukulu ki Moluddekaayi bye yaweebwa olw’ekyo?” Awo abaweereza ba Kabaka ne baddamu nti, “Tewali kintu kye yali aweereddwa.”
The king said, “What honour and dignity has been given to Mordecai for this?” Then the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”
4 Awo Kabaka n’abuuza nti, “Ani ali mu luggya?” Mu kiseera ekyo Kamani yali yakayingira mu luggya olw’ebweru olw’oku lubiri lwa Kabaka, nga azze okwogera ne Kabaka ku kigambo eky’okuwanika Moluddekaayi ku kalabba Kamani ke yali amuzimbidde.
The king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Amangwago abaweereza ne baddamu nti, “Kamani wuuno waali ayimiridde mu luggya.” Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Mumukkirize ayingire.”
The king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman stands in the court.” The king said, “Let him come in.”
6 Awo Kamani n’ayingira, Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Anaakolebwa ki omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira era gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa?” Kamani n’alowooza mu mutima gwe nti, “Ani Kabaka gwe yandisanyukidde okumuwa ekitiibwa okusinga nze?”
So Haman came in. The king said to him, “What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Now Haman said in his heart, “Who would the king delight to honour more than myself?”
7 Kamani n’addamu Kabaka nti, “Omusajja Kabaka gw’asanyukira okumuwa ekitiibwa,
Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honour,
8 bamuleetere ebyambalo Kabaka bye yali ayambaddemu, n’embalaasi Kabaka gye yali yeebagadde atikkirweko engule ey’obwakabaka ku mutwe.
let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a royal crown is set.
9 Ebyambalo n’embalaasi bikwasibwe omu ku bakungu kabaka basinga okuwa ekitiibwa, n’oluvannyuma omusajja oyo kabaka gw’ayagala okuwa ekitiibwa ayambazibwe ebyambalo ebyo era yeebagale n’embalaasi, era omulangira Kabaka gw’anaalonda amukulembere mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira waggulu nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’anaakolebwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa!’”
Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honour with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!’”
10 Awo Kabaka n’alagira Kamani nti, “Yanguwa ofune ebyambalo n’embalaasi nga bw’oyogedde, okolere ddala bw’otyo Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya atuula ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, ate waleme okubulako n’ekimu ku ebyo byonna by’oyogedde.”
Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”
11 Awo Kamani n’addira ebyambalo, n’ayambaza Moluddekaayi, n’amwebagaza ku mbalaasi, era n’amukulembera mu nguudo z’ekibuga ng’alangirira mu maaso ge nti, “Bw’atyo bw’akoleddwa omusajja Kabaka gw’asiima okuwa ekitiibwa.”
Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!”
12 Oluvannyuma Moluddekaayi n’akomawo ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, naye Kamani n’ayanguwa n’addayo ewuwe, ng’anakuwadde era ng’abisse ku mutwe gwe,
Mordecai came back to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
13 n’ategeeza Zeresi mukazi we ne mikwano gye bonna byonna ebimutuuseeko. Awo abamuwa amagezi ne mukazi we Zeresi ne bamugamba nti, “Engeri Moluddekaayi gw’otanulidde okugwa mu maaso ge, nga bw’ava mu ggwanga ly’Abayudaaya, tojja kumusinga, era tolirema kuzikirira mu maaso ge.”
Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”
14 Awo bwe baali nga bakyayogera naye, abalaawe ba Kabaka ne batuuka, ne banguwa okutwala Kamani ku mbaga Eseza gye yali afumbye.
While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
